In a stunning revelation, veteran actor Gianni Russo, known for his role in The Godfather as Carlo Rizzi, has put forth explosive allegations regarding the untimely demise of iconic actress Marilyn Monroe.
According to Russo, Monroe was purportedly murdered by Robert Kennedy to conceal her affair with his brother, the then US President John F. Kennedy.
The 75-year-old Russo makes these sensational claims in his latest book titled Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob.
He asserts that Monroe, a captivating figure from the 1960s, met her tragic end after she allegedly threatened to disclose her intimate encounters with the President.
Monroe, renowned for her role in Some Like It Hot, passed away at the age of 36 in 1962 due to an overdose of barbiturates.
However, Russo suggests that the mob had their sights on her, aiming to capture her involvement with both JFK and his brother Robert, with intentions to manipulate the President through blackmail.
Despite the intended scheme to coerce JFK into taking actions against communist Cuba, leading to the resurgence of organized crime in the island's casinos, the plan failed as the President did not partake in the proposed arrangement.
Russo alleges that Monroe became aware of the conspiracy and had plans to expose it to the public.
Prior to her disclosure, Robert Kennedy purportedly learned of Monroe's intentions and orchestrated her demise to prevent the scandal from emerging, claims Russo.
He contends that no one other than Bobby would have orchestrated such an act, dismissing the possibility of the mob's involvement due to their favorable disposition towards Monroe.
Russo provides a detailed account of the alleged events, citing a hired killer known as The Doctor, who, being a qualified MD, administered a fatal injection near Monroe's pelvic area, causing an embolism that mimicked a drug-induced death during the autopsy.
Recounting his own experiences, Russo disclosed a romantic liaison with Monroe when he was just 16 years old, while she was 33, a relationship that purportedly spanned four years.
He fondly recalls Monroe as a passionate lover who sought only to please her partner, emphasizing the tumultuous nature of his life compared to cinematic portrayals.
With a photograph taken at the CalNeva Lodge three days before Monroe's demise, Russo further asserts his close association with JFK during extravagant functions before the President's assassination in Dallas in 1963.
Revealing an unexpected facet of JFK, Russo mentions the President's occasional use of cocaine to alleviate his chronic back pain, showcasing a different side to the charismatic leader.
